An atheist doesn't believe it's possible to prove or disprove God. Only an idiot does, as it's impossible to 100% prove or disprove the existance of God.

The easiest definition is: atheist believes there is no God, agnostic has no belief either way; he just doesn't know what to believe (ie doubt).


Easiest maybe, but not the correct definition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

agnostic

Pronunciation:/agˈnɒstɪk/

noun

a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God.

It's really completely seperate from the belief in god. It's certainly not just being unsure of the existence of god - agnosticism can be quite a strongly held position.
